Is this really a guy the pro-life movement wants to celebrate?

About Paul Hill, from Wikipedia:

Paul Jennings Hill (April 30, 1954 – September 3, 2003) was an anti-abortion activist and a terrorist connected to the Army of God, who was convicted of the murders of physician John Britton and his clinic escort, James Barrett, outside a Pensacola, Florida abortion clinic on July 29, 1994. In addition to the two murders, Hill seriously wounded Barrett's wife.

Sounds like a swell guy, eh?

Well some people think so:

After much discussion and prayer, Drew Heiss and I are announcing an event to honor Paul Hill on the 13th anniversary of his actions in defense of preborn babies in Pensacola. Memorial events will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to honor him as God’s man and our hero.
...
On July 29th, 1994, Paul Hill boldly defended 31 babies from unspeakable violence by killing a paid assassin and his bodyguard. He was arrested, given a sham trial, and executed as a martyr.

The man is murderer. Plain and simple.

How any person who claims to be pro-life can claim this man as a hero is pathetic.

As Jen R says at Turn the Clock Forward, HELL NO!

Those who claim to support life need to stand up and reject those that lift up Paul Hill and others like him. He is not a hero. He is not a martyr. He is a murderer.
